Startup Idea: Automated Employee Vacation Scheduling Software

Startup idea to develop an automated system for managing and scheduling employee vacation leave. Employees can fill out preference forms, and the program will assign dates based on factors like performance, previous leave, etc. The system will also provide a visible calendar for changes and transparency.

I work as a Lab administrator. I handle the scheduling of employees among other responsibilities. I have recently had a major problem among the employees due to the miscommunication concerning the vacation leave. Employees argue about who gets which month for vacation.

It has led to very heated conversations with a conflict in the schedules that were reserved for several employees. I was hoping to hire a programmer to create a program to automatically reserve vacation leave for each employee. Maybe each employee will be given a form to fill out for dates that they would prefer, reasons why, etc.

Then based on factors like employee performance, previous vacation time taken, amount of time off, etc. the program will grant the dates that the all the employees deserve. The program will also have a main calendar where the all employees can see the vacation dates that are open and if any changes need to be made will input the changes in the program and check if the dates can be granted. This will save a lot of time at the company and will prevent any arguments or miscommunication.
